This year, the main theme of the conference was ‘EDUCATION IN AFRICA: REFLECTIONS BEYOND 2015 MDGs-COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE”.This is in light of the fact that the world educational agenda in the last decade was geared toward the attainment of Education For All (EFA) as well as the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The conference brought together over 120 participants from around the world to share their experience, knowledge and debate on issues affecting education in Africa. Countries represented in the conference include; Kenya, Nigeria, United States of America, Canada, Australia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Norway, India and Sierra Leone. The Participants were mostly researchers, educators and scholars.

The 2- day conference was structured around 2 Keynote plenary presentations and about 20 facilitated sessions held in separate break away rooms. A total of 65 papers were presented and discussed.

Welcome to AFRICE

AFRICE intends to integrate the international and comparative studies on Education with historical, interdisciplinary and cross-cultural approaches.

The African macro-region, in fact, is uniquely rich with historical events which in many ways affected the destiny of the educational institutions not only in Africa, but also, in the Diaspora and the entire world.

One can argue that, many old circumstances with new ones are there to influence the shape of the current and future different school systems in Africa.
